Dear Friends
Please send this letter or in your own words about three members of the human rights organisation Viasna, who are being prosecuted on trumped-up charges. This is part of the systemic crackdown of civil society and activists that has been ongoing since the post-election protests of August 2020. Thanks! Tilly & Guy

Dear Prosecutor General,
 
I am deeply concerned about the welfare of human rights defenders Ales Bialiatski, Valyantsin Stefanovich and Uladzimir Labkovich. As you know, they have been arrested and are in pretrial detention. They have committed no crime and are being targeted or their work. 
 
I believe this is just the latest instance of a coordinated and systematic campaign to stifle human rights and any form of criticism of the Belarusian authorities.  I urge you to do everything in your power to ensure their immediate release.

Best wishes
 
Please send a copy to the ambassador in your country:
